Possibly Delirium Tremens - severe alcohol withdrawal.

Could you provide more context?
Might it have anything to do with Delirium Tremens?

Glad to see you are still here Chevota. Those sleep problems at the beginning are horrible. Hang in there.

I am having DT. I haven't had any hallucinations but I ran down my symptoms to my doctor yesterday and she told me I was. Quite weird things going on.

Hi Chevota. We can't give you medical advice here. It's against our rules.

If you're not happy, or unsure with the advice you got or the meds you were prescribed I'd ask your Dr again or get a second opinion

DT stands for Delirium Tremens, a dangerous state that sometimes happens when withdrawing from alcohol. Not to be confused with detox, which is just the withdrawal process. DTs are dangerous, life threatening.

If you're not having serious problems consider yourself lucky. My w/d were always horrible. If you are concerned at all, please get medical help right away.
